Anthony Davis has formally requested a trade from the New Orleans Pelicans, so says his agent Rich Paul. The move, first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski — a 9.7 woj bomb on the Narowski scale — completely upends the NBA even as it falls into line with most people’s conventional thinking.
Let’s get one thing clear right away — the Detroit Pistons will not, can not and should not trade for Davis. It’s not happening no matter what you can make the NBA Trade Machine do. Please keep beat writers like Rod Beard, Vince Ellis, James Edwards and Keith Langlois in your thoughts during this difficult time.
